Master Critic Review

Ghareeb Nawaz 7.6
Park West
The Lincoln Park location of Ghareeb Nawaz brings the Indo-Pak mini chain s huge menu and famously low prices to a student-heavy stretch of Lincoln Avenue. The room is basic and service is counter-style, but for biryani, curries, and combos under typical sit-down prices, it is one of the strongest pure value plays for Indian and Pakistani food in 60614.
Must-Try Dishes: Butter Chicken Combo, Chicken Biryani, Chana Chicken Combo

What makes it special: A bare-bones Indo-Pak counter where huge portions and ultra-low prices dominate the experience.
Who should go: Students and night owls prioritizing value and portion size over atmosphere.
When to visit: Late nights and casual dinners when you need fast, filling food.
What to order: Butter Chicken Combo, Chicken Biryani, Chana Chicken Combo.
Insider tip: One combo with an extra naan often feeds two if you are not extremely hungry.
